近年来,中华文化“走出去”的影响力不断扩大,在全球文化多元化发展日益兴盛的背景下,中国文化译研网(CCTSS)联合中国作家协会《小说选刊》杂志社,启动“新世纪中国当代作家、作品海外传播数据库”项目,将100位中国当代优秀作家的简介、代表作品以及展示作家风采的短视频翻译为10种语言,集结成1000张中国作家名片向全球推介。千张“作家名片
”将鲜明地向世界宣告:我是中国作家,我在进行中国创作。
此种形式和规模是中国故事走向世界的一大创新,会让世界更加全面、客观、公正地了解中国优秀作家作品,同时也是打通中国文化走向世界的“最后一公里”。

《陌上》以散点透视的笔法,书写一个村庄的日常生活和隐秘心事,被认为“写出了我们村庄的此刻与恒常”,写出了“一个时代的新乡愁”,2016年底甫一面世,便在中国文学界内外引发强烈反响。有评论家称这是“一部当代中国乡村世界的精神列传”,也有人称这是一部“当代乡土中国的心灵断代史”,更有人由此提出“付秀莹文体”这一概念,指出“付秀莹文体既是现代文学史的一脉相承,又是她富有灵性的个人创造。”
短篇小说《爱情到处流传》是付秀莹的成名作,自问世到现在,一直“到处流传”。作品透过童年视角,以宁静抒情的叙事笔调,追忆父亲和母亲之间的乡村爱情,发现和体察他们的内心伤痛。小说继承了现代小说的抒情诗传统,在艺术上深得传统中国美学之精髓,温柔蕴藉,含不尽之意于言外。《爱情到处流传》一经面世即在中国文坛引起强烈轰动,被认为“提供了一个短篇小说的近乎完美的样本”, 是“传统中国美学在当代的再现”。
中篇小说《旧院》书写普通中国人的日常生活,展现他们的情感经验、内心世界以及命运跌宕。小说写出了“旧院”中的每一个人及其遭际,从而在整体上呈现出一个艺术世界,让我们看到一个家庭的“盛世”,及其在时光中的流变, 寄寓了作家深沉的感喟、忧伤、思索和沧桑之叹。上说不仅善于从中国美学中汲取丰富营养,同时也有意识地进行了现代化的改造。《旧院》被认为“既是最为中国的,也是最为现代的”。

Fu Xiuying
Fu Xiuying was born in Wuji County, Hebei Province in October 1976. She is a novelist whose representative works include the long novel Unfamiliar, a short story Love Spreads Everywhere, and the novelette Old Courtyard. She has also published the novel collections, Love Spreads Everywhere, Zhu Yanji, Happy Moon, Jinxiu, Night Makeup, Sometimes Years Don’t Live Up to their Names, June Half, and many others. Her work has been included in multiple collections, selected yearbooks, and rankings. She has won various literary awards such as the Fiction Selection Award, The October Literary Prize, Pu Songling Short Story Award, Wang Zengqi Literature Award, and the Mao Dun Literature Newcomer Award. The novel Unfamiliar was selected for “The Contemporary” annual “Top Five”, “Harvest” Literature Rankings, Spring Breeze Book List, “Literary Blue Book: Chinese Literature Report” (2015-2016) and so on. Some of her works have been translated and introduced to countries such as Britain, the United States and Japan. She is now the editor-in-chief of The Long Novel Selection.
Unfamiliar uses a scattered perspective style to write about the daily lives and hidden thoughts in a village. The work is considered to have “written about the moment and perpetuity of our village” and “a new homesickness of an era”. When it came out at the end of 2016, it caused a strong reaction inside and outside the Chinese literary world. Some critics called this “a spiritual biography of a contemporary Chinese rural country”. Some also called it a “periodic spiritual history of contemporary rural China”, and some even put forward the concept of “Fu Xiuying style”, pointing out that “Fu Xiuying’s style is not only the same strain of modern literary history, but also her personal spiritual creation.”
The short story Love Spreads Everywhere is a famous work of Fu Xiuying. Ever since she came on the scene, she has been “circulating everywhere”. From the perspective of childhood, the work traces the rural love between father and mother and discovers and perceives their inner pain through a quiet and lyrical narrative style. The novel inherits the lyrical tradition of modern novels and receives a lot in terms of art from the essence of traditional Chinese aesthetics, kind and culturally restrained, and finding meaning in leaving things unsaid. Love Spreads Everywhere caused a strong sensation in the Chinese literary world as soon as it came out. It was considered to have “provided a near-perfect sample of a short story” and “a contemporary representation of traditional Chinese aesthetics”.
The novella Old Courtyard is about the ordinary daily lives of Chinese people and shows their emotional experiences, inner worlds and destinies. The novel writes about every person in the “Old Academy” and their encounters, thus presenting an artistic world as a whole, allowing us to see the “Flourishing Age” of a family and its transformation in time, showing the writer’s deep feelings, sadness, reflections and vicissitudes. It is not only good at drawing rich nutrition from Chinese aesthetics, but also consciously carrying out modern transformations. Old Courtyard is considered “the most Chinese and the most modern” work.
